Why is scar tissue bad and what causes it?

Scar tissue restricts range of motion and often causes pain with functional limitations. Many different injuries and wear and tear stresses can cause excess scar tissue.

How fast does it work?

Every condition is different so this can be hard to answer. Most patients feel a major difference within several treatments.

Does it hurt?

We always treat to a person’s tolerance. If the treatment ever gets too uncomfortable we reduce the amount of pressure to the skin. The skin can become red and look irritated but the cosmetic look goes away usually in 12-24 hours. The redness is due to micro traumas which draw new, fresh blood to the area to promote healing.

What can it help with?

We are seeing great results with many different conditions including:
Carpal tunnel

• Tennis/golfers elbow
• Neck and low back pain
• Plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendinitis
